Exposing MCP to AI Agents

Once your MCP server is set up in DronaHQ, you can expose it to your AI agents such as Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, and others for tool-specific interaction.

CLI Prerequisites

Ensure the following dependency is installed:

• Node.js (version > 16)
  Check version by running:

  node -v

Installation in AI Agents

For each AI Agent, follow the respective setup steps below using your MCP server details. Each tool supports two setup methods:

• Quick Setup (CLI): Copy and paste the server details directly into the command line.
• Manual Setup: Configure the tool by editing the appropriate configuration file.

During manual setup, you’ll need two essential credentials:

Field	Description
Server URL	The endpoint of the MCP you wish to expose to the tool.
Authorization	JWT token used for authentication. This is required to access the MCP server.
